Publisher's Synopsis
Getting older without the once accepted effects of ageing - that is what we now hope for. Birthdays come and go, but must we get heart disease, arthritis or lapses of memory? Need our arteries or our minds narrow? Scientists of many nations are working on the subject of ageing. This book presents an up-to-date summary of what they now know, and what we can all do in practical ways to stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Managing our own personal maintenance, taking charge of ourselves mentally and physically is the author contends, one of the essentials of enjoying growing older. Helen Franks is the author of "Prime Time" and "Bone Boosters - Natural Ways to Beat Osteoporosis".
